How can I help you? Why might you need an expert witness?

Sworn court-certified expert witnesses have distinguished themselves through their many years of professional experience and are recognised by means of a court-based certification procedure as experts in their respective specialist field. As a result of their professional skills, expert witnesses are authorised in the case of disputes to provide courts of law with the expertise they require in order to reach decisions and also assist in resolving disputes out of court. Expert witnesses are obligated to engage in regular ongoing training in order to remain up-to-date in terms of their knowledge and matters of jurisdiction. For this reason I am also a full member of the Association of Court Experts..

Private expert opinions as a basis for decision-making

In some cases, it can be helpful to have an expert opinion from a sworn court-certified expert witness when it is necessary to objectively and professionally clarify a particular situation. A sworn court-certified expert witness must be independent. An independent expert opinion often forms a sound basis for consensus.

An expert witness can also act on behalf of one party in a court of law. Such cases also relate to a mandate under private law.

Expert opinions as a means of decision-making for courts

Complex taxation rules often require an expert opinion which enables the judge to understand the circumstances relevant to a particular case. I offer both private and judicial expert opinions as a service. I can particularly provide support related to the following issues:

• Judicial or administrative financial proceedings
• False advice in matters of tax law
• Questions related to the commensurability of tax advisory fees
